Yo, it's been a long time since I last blog hahahaha, so today I will show you couple of things that I've got during these weeks I went missing.

The new album of Korn features drummer Terry Bozzio. It's crazy, the drumming is Intense and Powerful. Even though he only plays 6 tracks, it's great! By the way, Terry Bozzio is the 'One Man Percussion Band' for those who don't know who he is. He played for Frank Zappa and his notable drumming skills was shown playing the 'Black Page' by Frank Zappa which is basically a score fill with notes so much it's black.

New Korn album which is Untitled, Front Cover.

Back of the CD box.

Includes a poster, a bonus 'The Making DVD', band members picture, booklet and the CD itself.

Terry Bozzio with his huge kit. *Note: He plays the kit himself.

Okay, now to the main part of this blog. I GOT MY Iron Cobra TWIN PEDAL which I've been dreaming for!!!!!!! The response is GREAT, it's just too much for me. The feel is so unreal and I just can't wait to use it hahahaha.

The new 2007 Power Glide model.

Yoyo wassup!? Today, I'll post some pictures I took on July 26th during the Drum Performance. It was held at the Octagon Theater in UWA. Drummers who performed that night were Tony Royster Jr., Sonny Emory, and Marco Minnemann. I will show you the poster which got 3 of their sigantures there.

The Poster with their signatures!

Tony Royster Jr. signing poster!

The Experience was totally great that night. Their playing were like monster, whacking the drum so hard and with so much energy. All 3 of them were extremely energetic and also funny. Tony Royster Jr. showed his fast, accurate, and precise fills around the drums. Sonny were good in creating nice groove and solo ideas. His stick control were crazy. Last but not least, Marco's drumming opened up my mind because of his different approach towards the drumset. His diversity in different drumming amazed me a lot. Switching from rock to funk to jazz to fusin and to metal? not normal metal but DEATH metal, totally crazy. The crowd asked him to perform the death metal song when he asked us which one do we prefer. I am motivated to improve my drumming after watching how great they performed. That's all for today! Cheerssss and God Bless!!!
